Courtesy
All students will show respect and courtesy by using the traditional bow:
when entering or leaving the workout area, when first stepping on the mat,
after receiving instruction (either in a group or individually), and to thank
a training partner after practicing a technique.
Always arrive early to class. If late for training, kneel quietly at the edge
of the training area after you are dressed, warmed up, and ready to participate.
When the instructor acknowledges you, bow and then quickly join the class.
When in the dojo, always address the instructor and seniors by their proper
rank or title (SENSEI, SEMPAI) inside the dojo. If you do not know their rank,
ask as soon as possible, and use “sir” in the meantime.
It is impolite to ask yudansha (black belts) to spar. Wait until you are invited.
Treat all visitors with courtesy and goodwill. Ensure the instructor is aware
of any strangers visiting the dojo as soon as they enter.
Protocol
Always wear a uniform that is clean and in good repair.
It is everyone's responsibility to ensure the Dojo is clean, tidy and safe
at all times. Never allow someone more senior than you to clean up: volunteer
to do the task yourself.
Always turn away from your partner or the class if you need to adjust your
uniform.
Don’t wear your gi and obi outside the dojo.
Don’t handle weapons other than your own without explicit permission
from the owner.
Don’t eat, drink, smoke or chew gum in the dojo.
Safety
Keep talking to a minimum and respond immediately when called to attention
(kiotsuke). Never talk when an instructor is talking.
Listen carefully and respond immediately to a command to stop (yamé)
or pause (maté) when performing a technique or sparring.
Do not break rank for any reason, without asking permission from the instructor.
If you must leave your position, do not walk between the instructor and the
class. Walk behind the row you are in to either side and proceed from there.
Keep fingernails and toenails short and clean, and keep hair away from eyes
while training.
Don't wear jewelry or watches during training.
Do not spar, rough-house, or use weapons except as part of supervised training.
Only perform the technique which the instructor is teaching.
Whenever performing technique or sparring, you are responsible for your training
partners’ safety. Be aware of everyone around you.
